COMMENTARY: Needed — A Relativistic Theory of Information Science
نویسنده
چکیده
Secondary distribution of information is surely a relative if not an ambiguous term. The variety of topics covered in Theme Session #7 accentuates the recurring difficulty in trying to assign inflexible classifications to any information processing activities. Classically secondary distribution (publication) of information concerns those activities which follow primary publication (distribution) of documents. Thus, the conventional abstracting publications like Chemical Abstracts and Biological Abstracts are secondary publications. That these are arbitrary descriptions is indicated in relating the role of the newer depository systems to the established systems of distribution. Indeed, the announcement of government research reports, through abstracting publications, reverses the usual publication sequence as far as the consumer is concerned. Primary journals are usually received in libraries many months before abstracting journals appear. Reports, on the other hand, are ordered after their announcement, through abstracts, in various announcement media such as USGRR, STAR, etc. This same reversal of timing occurs in Current

متن کاملCalculation of the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of relativistic accretion flows in the Kerr metric.
In this paper, we calculate the relativistic bulk tensor and shear tensor of the relativistic accretion ows in the Kerr metric, overall and without any approximation. We obtain the relations of all components of the relativistic bulk and shear tensor in terms of components of four-velocity and its derivatives, Christoffel symbols and metric components in the BLF. Then, these components are deri...
